Hi Lionel



Have you tried Mystic Seaport Museum https://www.mysticseaport.org/ in Connecticut. Also you might check the Peabody Essex Museum https://www.pem.org/ in Salem Massachusetts.

Hello Phil,

Thanks for the tips - it is much appreciated. I had found out about the Connecticut River Museum - not the other two you mentioned.

I have a long way to go regarding maritime research. Especially since I am at the very start of it.

P.S. Following your tip Phil, I just found a very interesting page on the Mystic site... Accessed 25th January 2020 from, https://research.mysticseaport.org/info/ib69-1/

Kind regards
Lionel
